Catching a Swarm in my Shed: The Queen's Great Escape! | The Bush Bee Man

[@1425race]

John get rid of that queen cage they are useless. Like you I killed a new queen the first time I used it. The best one is the bulldog clip type made of clear plastic - much easier and safer to use.

Get you some roller queen cages, they are cheep and awesome

How did it turn out?

[@Hotzrod]

Where did they wind up?

That looks like a good use for a bee vac?

I LOVE your sense of humor! 😂

My crazy summer swarms were four at once, huge, all going round and round the field, all trying to figure it out. Like horse racing. Insane antics. Came out to watch and see the first one. A moment latter, number two next to it went off, then the next and next. *I keep a wire mesh square in the pocket to cage her on a frame instead of picking her up, sometimes.

The fun is just starting for you 😂 while we’re packing our bees up for winter 😢 Still we can rely on you to keep giving us some beekeeping fun until our bee season starts again 👏👏🇬🇧

I have to ask, - why did you just not put the frame in the box with her majesty on it? That's just me being all practical and lazy at the same time FWIW? I think you much better at making mead! Thanks for the laugh, that was a really big swarm. Stay safe, have fun! 🍻👌😁🐝

Un real there rippers until mites turn up. Best of luck with it.

It looked like they were cleaning out the box so maybe they will stay!
